EZ-CAP and AnyWare Group Form Strategic Alliance

Agreement enables users to take advantage of secure remote access and conferencing solutions

Saint John, NB — November 30, 2006 — Continuing to expand its ability to serve the healthcare industry, EZ-CAP, the flagship product of MZI HealthCare, LLC (MZIHC), a leading provider of health plan administration software, today announced that it has formed a strategic alliance with AnyWare Group (AWG), a provider of customer-driven access solutions for healthcare organizations. The alliance will enable healthcare companies to use the EZ-CAP software from any web-enabled desktop location through the secure remote access and conferencing solutions offered by AnyWare Group's Role Oriented Access Management (ROAM) technology.

"By joining forces with AnyWare Group, we now can offer our clients the ability to remotely access EZ-CAP's applications through any web browser," said Darryl Low, president of MZIHC. "This new tool will enable our clients to take advantage of operational efficiencies, including the ability to access information systems that were previously inaccessible outside their infrastructure, so that they can work in a highly secure environment from any location-just as though they were in the office."

By leveraging AnyWare Group's ROAM technology, MZIHC can also provide customers with the option to use EZ-CAP software on a subscription basis. Companies that choose this option can take full advantage of EZ-CAP's reliable, easy-to-use software that allows them to manage health insurance benefits, while improving productivity and providing instant access to data without an upfront licensing fee. By offering an option for remote hosting of the EZ-CAP software, MZIHC can offer more flexible installation models to healthcare companies. With ROAM, clients have the assurance that users of remotely hosted EZ-CAP software will only see the applications that they need or are authorized to use.

"As a managed service, ROAM will allow EZ-CAP to focus its resources on its core competencies rather than managing portals," said Gerry Verner, CEO of AnyWare Group. "In addition, ROAM's conferencing abilities will improve new product training procedures and may reduce travel costs making training more efficient for EZ-CAP customers."

EZ-CAP software is a Microsoft® Windows®-based system that is affordable, easily integrated within all systems, regardless of platform, and reduces healthcare insurance benefits costs. EZ-CAP offers more than 15 integrated modules, including:

  • Electronic claims processing
  • Benefit administration
  • Member eligibility
  • Member and provider services
  • Contract management
  • Case management
